The four-acre park is located in Community Park on Rt.19 in Cranberry Township. It was built by the Township’s Public Works Department with a lead contribution of $45,000 from the Cranberry Rotary Club, and features separate off-leash running areas for large and small dogs, as well as a second fenced space for large dogs to enable rotation of active play areas so that the fields can recover from wear and tear.

Here's why the American Kennel Club believes Dog Parks are beneficial

Allows dogs to exercise and socialize safely. Puppies and adult dogs need room to run, and enclosed play areas permit them to do so while preventing them from endangering themselves and others (for example, by running into the path of an oncoming vehicle). Dogs who are accustomed to playing with animals and people other than their owners are more likely to be well-socialized and react well toward strangers.

Promotes responsible dog ownership. Dog parks prevent off-leash animals from infringing on the rights of other community residents and park users such as joggers, small children, and those who may be fearful of dogs.

Provides an outlet for dog owners to socialize. Dog parks are a great place for owners to meet other people with common interests. Park users also benefit from the opportunity to ask questions of other owners and find solutions to problems they might be having with their pet.

Creates a better community by promoting public health and safety. Well-exercised dogs are more behaved and are less likely to create a nuisance, bark excessively and destroy property.
